If I hear or read another use of the word "resolve" in another speech about 9/11, I am going to puke. Let's get a new word to describe our solemnity, strength, and innocence as americans., ok?

Watch or listen to any speech today, about the events last year, and I guarantee you'll hear the word. Is that all we got? Resolve? What the hell?

TV the visual cool medium has cheapened the whole situation of commemoration and memorial. I simply cannot look at another teary-faced old guy or a kid with their hand over their heart and a flag pin on their lapel sniffling & looking all serious and proud and tears rolling down this face of "resolve."

Nothing is wrong with the show of respect, patriotism, homage, but it's how TV shows it, and that the TV shows it OVER and OVER in the same way, is what makes it sickening. The medium and the form deflate, de-signify, disempopwer these images of any meaning. You could see the same slick presentation for a bar of soap, a laundry detergent, an order of fries: Slow pan over face (product) as national anthem (musical jingle) plays by military marching band.

This is supposed to move me?
